TOWNSIIEND. His Lordship said he had read the affidavits last night in this case, which respected the injunction to restrain waste; but had not yet satisfied himself whether there should or shotild not he a reference to the Master. He wou!:1 again look over the docu ments, which were very voluminoo, and give his opinion on Friday morning. IN RE PATIENT' WOOD, A Lit NAtle. Mr. GIRDLESTONE adverted to certaiii proceedings in this case, which he deemed irregular, via, the stopping the delivery out of his Lordship's Minutes upon this Petition. His Lord ship had taken home did papers, aml hail framed the minutes. What Inc now desired was, that some daily day might be fixed when the ease might be Mentioned. The Lunn CHANCELLOU.--I am.vil..y frequently obliged to take hone papers when they silt voltiiminous. I did to fq thd present case, and delivered the Minutes to the ltegisevar. I de sire to know why those Minutes have not been delivered out ? 1 will never permit any Solicitor to tell my Officer not to deli ver out the Minutes. Let the parties tell the Court on Friday why this has been done, and why they should not pay the costs consequent upon such an irregular prticeeding. IN RE LORD PORTSHODTIL, A LUNATIC. 31r. TURNER applied for an early day to be appointed to hear this petition, which related merely to costs. The LORD CHANCELLOR did dot understand why this pe tition should not take its place turiting the other lunatic peti tions. If it were advanced, the consequence would be, that other matters, probably of equal or greater importance, would be postponed. It might, lidWeYer, be mentioned tin Friday. THE COURIER. V. IiUMDELI.. Upon this case being called on in its regular couse, Mr. ROMILLY (with WhOM were Mr. HEALEI and Mr. Mostmo LIE. his seniors, but both absent) regretted the ab sence of his learned leaders; but before he prodeetled to the merits of the ease, he must antic to a paragraph which had appeared ii► D/c Courier newspaper, highly injurious to his client. —l. The Learned Counsel held a cupy of die paper in his hand. Mr. H Ant —4lo* does this statement in The Courier answer our case? Mr. ilo3tittit did not pretend that it did, but still he felt it to be his duty to allude to it, as it contained an insinuation which Was eXttemely prejudicial to his client. Ile *as the more induced to advert to it, as it was an intinuatiott placed in the matith dr his Lordship. The Lunii CiLiveEi.t.on-1 woultlgood naturctily and re spectfully ask Mr. Hominy—what can I do With it? Mr. lecoutt.t.V said he was only anxious to remove the im putation from hls client, and that it shotild fall only where it was dettetved, The Lctnn CtrANCE/.r.on—lfa newspaper publishes a re port of the proceedings of this Court, Which amounts to It con. tempt, the only mode is to treat tlte patty as guilty of such edntempt, upon motion made for that purpose. Unless that species of application be ttiade, the Court cannot be amused from day to day by these newspaper statements. Mr. Roattt.t.Y.-41 is alleged in the paragraph to which I have aikido& that your Lordship has been atonally pelted by letters from ttly client. The l.ottit CIiAtCkLI.OR.,—As the observation is said to have fallen from me, I will certainly set your client right. It would be impossible to be hearing every day these complaints df mitt- Statements of newspapers. If it were allowed, this Cotitt would have little else to do..—The newspaper was then handed up to his Lordship.]—The Lout Chancellor—You see how easily newspapers may be mistaken, for I never Bald Mill ward about any letters. 'Mr. Ito gii.4Y fully confirmed his Lordship's statement.— On this account he had been induced to allude to the misrepreA sentation. The erAuments in the cause were then proceeded with, but after hearing Mr. Romilly partiatlyt'the further arguments were postponed for the purpose of ascertaining the fact, whe ther a bill filed in the cause about 20 years ago had been taken off the file surreptitiously Cr other% ise. IVELLEit.ET V. TUE DUKE OF nEaussonT. It was expected that this motion, which WAS of a very inte resting nature, as it respected the custody of the plaintiff's children, would have been discussed at much length to-day. The case was put at the head of the paper for the purpooe of argument, but upon the application of Mr. Hart, it was post- Toned until Friday morning peremptorily. Ilk Lordship rose, after having disposed of all the causes aft the paper. THE MATTER or THOMAS THORPE, !A_IiAXIISRUPT. ~llr. RosE said, he had to make rather a novel and important application. • The bankrupt had been a bookseller to a great ex. tent, dealing principally in collections of old looks and publica tions. Under his commission, Owen !tees, or the firm of Long. man, Rees, and Orme, Thomas Payne, of the firm of Payne and Foss, and Thomas Lepard, of the firm of !larding and Lepard, were chosen assignees ; and, by a rule of thia Court, assignees arc not permitted to purchase, directly or indirectly, the bankrupt's estate, without the leafl of the Court. The present bankrupt's property was advertised for sale, and con. slating principally of old books, if the three firms of the assig nees were to be restricted from bidding at the sale, in conse quence of the assignees being constituent members of these houses, the property, it was supposed, would bring little or nothing, and thetetbre the protein prayer was, that the Court would be pleased to make an order , . leaving those firms at li berty to bid in competition Wi t h others. Ills Lotman rp did not see how he could make such an order at present. If the property to be sold had been it piece of land, much mischief could not have resulted from assig nees being allowed to bid at the sale, because it might be ea pected all the world were as good lodges of the land as the assignees ; but this property, consisting of old books, they might buy for fld. a book of immense value, though no other person but themselves would bid lid. for it at the sale. it was also to be observed, that there was a very curious law existing among booksellers, which was, that one bookseller would not bid against another, anti that they had a second sale. What the Court would now do was to direct that a scheme of how the sale was intended to he conducted should be laid befbre the Court; and his Lordship would be very glad to he furnished with an affidavit from the ftstignees, stating dered the value of the p r op er ty to be, becat i Z witt tlley ci inctti:itniet upon them so give the p a rty putting the property up to sale, every possible information with respect to its value, for the be nefit of the bankrupt's estate.

The delivery and shipment of the good s h av i ng been proved, it appeared by the evidence that they consisted of military stores for the equipment of a rifle regiment, then in the service of the Venezuelan Govern ment, and that the plaintiff had, in April, 1819, accepted from the defend a nt a n order on the state of Venezuela for 1,1541. 2s, td., signed by George Elsom, comman t let • o f th e said regiment, and Dern bolds tipper Mender, an tigtlit of that Government; and that the defendant, when applied to for a material payment of the hills in September last, had promi se d to pay them when lie should receive a sum of money now lo c k e d up pending the decision of a suit In Clutrieety„ A of lr.Sc AliL ia tT ral witness T i fo i rtl e.ss prevented edet l en a.lt suchstathi' that the absenc e abroad an angWer to the case as would otherwise have been given ; but contend e d t h at in a state of hid England this action could n o t be t the sum now sou tto lie revbvered was included n ie elui i i n ed ni a l and paid with n the sum et . 1,264 . 2a. fad. ; and that as the g oo d s in question were supplied to support a province of Spain, tiai in u s z r a e c c c t o io rd n in a g ga toinstthethieuw of inotlier maintained.

KENT V. cilium: This was an action to recover the midi of 472:1. 10A., the price of thtee homes, purchased of the plaintiff by the defen dant. ...... . The plaintiff was the Son of the stable keeper residing in the vicinity tif Bloomsbury-square; the - defendant, a yothig, gen, tlemad Of fortune and great expectations, - now married to a Frefith lady of property, from which he also derived the title of Hawn Dumont. The - plaintiff and defendant were an in timate terms in 1824, and in January, 18.16, the defendant purchased froin 'the platatiff the three horses in tittestion, at the price of 150 guineas each; they Were to seeninpimitthede fendant to Fiance, and the plaintiff and his brother attended him down to Dover where he had promised to pay for the horses. At Dover the defendant plocirtised to pay at Calais ; and at Calais he dismissed the plaintiff, by jitoniini»g to pay his brother, when the Nisei arrived in Paris 1 and at Paris he sent the plaintiff's brother back to England withont the Money, by assuring him that the horses would be puld lot by his solici tor in London. , r 4 Richard ' T apping Claridge had introtitteed the defendant to the plaintiff, and remembered the purchase of the three horses ; he went down with Mr. Curtis and Mr. Kent to • DOver, and from thence to Calais, from %Attlee be returned with the plain- tiff, who could not get his tudney. In his cross:eummation by Mr. Scshr.ETT he described himself as a wine merchant, residing' in Wiinnore-street ; formerly he had lived with his uncle, a hoot anti Ow maker, in Bond-street 1 he had lent Mr. Curtis money, whlrh had been since repaid, find he had introduced Mr. Curtis to several of his friends, who had also lent money to him before lit ivos of age. Rdbert Bush, who had resided with the defendant as an in , terptetet, remembered the horses, and the defendant saying when he sent away the plaintiff's brothel' ftom Paris, that he had ) Iw/roared him, too, as well as the test—meaning that he had done theM all. Cross-examined by Mr. SCA/MM.—Had been Introduced to defendant by a Bow-street officer, anti had been dismissed after defendant married, because he had railed Mr. Curtis Le. Petit Baron. Mr. SCAHLETT aldressed the jury for the defendant, and commented in strong terms on the unfortunate state of 7i young heir beset by such people as those who had described them , . selves as the associates of this young gentleman. He con. tended that these horses had been paid for before 1 and that as there was no eiitienee to show these horses to have been the property 6r th© plaintiff, the action should have been brotight by his father, who was really the owner of the horses, though lie did not choose to appear in this transaction. Mr. 11ENIttA1r, in reply, maintained that he was entitled to their vcrdieti Unless they could suppose that the witnesses had been guilty ofperjbry.

Tide was another action, brought by the sam e pl a i nt iff' against the same defendant, to recover the value of a diatnond ring and gold watch-chain. _ It appeared, from the evidence of Richard Tapping Clar. ridge, that on the 16th June last, he and his wife, Mr. Kent, and the defendant, went down on a party of pleasure, to Luton, in Bedfordshire, and on the way down, the defendant admired a'diamond ring on Mr. Kent's finger t he obtained it to look at, together with a gold watch chain, which Mr. Kent had round his neck ; he put the ring Oh his linger, and the Chain in his pocket, and said he Would return them some other time.

They succeeded in forcing him out of the office ) and he succeeded in getting in again. The plaintiff, who was one of the book-keepers, was out at the commencement of the altercation, lynt hav ing entered the office in the midst of it, he took part with the porters, and condemned the defendant's conduct, as being extremely improper. Language not -of the most dotter. ing description was freely interchanged ;between the parties, until at length the defendant struck the plaintiff with his mu. brella ;• but as a justification this net, it wits alle ge d o n t h e . defendant's behaf that: his nose had been previously 'Piffled by the plaintiff's fellow clerk ; whilst on the Other side it was stated that the pulling of the nose was subsequent to the um brella business.—Verdict for the defendant.
